Editing Blog

After all our filming from the beach, to our group members house, to Las Olas we have finally completed. It has been a fun journey working on the project with friends, we learned how to work together and listen to each others opinions on what should we do. Thankfully we all finished our filming in time when we weren't busy with other things in out life. Finally it was time for us to edit. We each split our work equally. One group member did the first part of the editing, I did the second, and one finished the last part of the music video. Since we were doing it on a group members computer we chose to use iMovie for us to edit our music video. We all discussed the plan and our ideas for what we want to include. We were all together when editing for it to be easier for all of us. We had our own biased opinions but in the end we came to agreement for all of our editing choices.
While editing, I decided to do the middle part of our project. I did this with the supervision of my teammates, with them agreeing or disagreeing with whatever I did to edit. At first, I was a bit confused on how to use iMovie. However, using iMovie was a much better decision. It’s much easier to use than Pinnacle Studios. iMovie was also much easier to learn how to use. And in order to perfect our music video, I tried to learn as much as I could with a groupmate. She’s had a lot of experience with iMovie. Much more than me. I also threw in transitions to make the film look slightly more professional. As if we knew what we’d were doing.
During the editing process, our final group member edited the last half of our music video. We split the editing process up amongst the three of us so that we could each put in some work. We used iMovie to edit our music video. She has had plenty of had experience with iMovie before, so the editing process was a breeze for her. She helped me, who was struggling a bit while I was editing. While doing this project, we learned more about the different types of camera shots and angles and how to use them. we also learned more about how to add different transitions to our video and make the editing process easier. In the future, I believe my group and I should plan out our videos slightly more so that we are more prepared. We were never unprepared this time, but we still had a few very small moments of confusion and disagreements while filming and editing. I would also like to improve my editing skills on future projects.
